Lieberman did say it...not expecting an attack from Republican side...

in the debate. I heard he said it, but just found it at FDL.

This is so amazing he would say that. He actually did NOT expect to be attacked by the Republican side in the debate. A deal or something, Joe?

"As Colin McEnroe says, during Monday's debate Lieberman betrayed his feelings of entitlement to anything he wants from the GOP:



And what Chris Shays is saying about Joe is very surprising...



And another statement by the blogger, about how Joe is manipulating the Democratic leadership.

spent their OWN money to pay for his campaign.

Now that is funny! I have to steal this from you... The huge head on the tiny body is very apt.

And, you know what's REALLY funny?

I didn't alter his proportions- that's exactly how he was

Here's one from the Subliminamal Series:

Good for them.

sometimes respected eventhough I disagreed with him.

:shrug:

Have yet to see it yet on my travels.

Who wants to bet me? We MUST win enough Senate seats so we don't have to depend on Joe's "loyalty" or lack thereof.:(

Chris Shays has lost his mind, that's a given. First he launched a bizarre attack on Ted Kennedy before going on to liken the torture at Abu Ghraib to a weekend at Plato's Retreat, and now as a Republican congressman up for re-election in the state of Connecticut he says that Lieberman is a "national treasure" and that Joe's victory is more important than his own.

The first couple things, the Chappaquiddick (ho hum--damn, why not dredge up some Andrew Jackson era dirt if you feel like being irrelevant?) and saying Abu Ghraib was all about da sex (My, Mr. Shays, who knew? Torture, murder? Who do *you* want to be today?) Those things are just cluelessness. But the Lieberman quote--has content. Joe Lieberman is a wedge all on his lonesome--a wedge into the Democratic Party. He was Gore's running mate--now he doesn't have a clear place in our party--and I say fine. He decided; he picked his side. But some (people who favor the war) might see it being a schism with Democrats--did Lieberman move on, or did we?

What he's saying is, if Lieberman wins, it somehow should set the tone for the direction of our party. Why we should let someone who is not a member of it set the tone, I don't know. To me, supporting the war, Bush, "staying the course", "pre-emptive war", failing diplomacy, a reactive policy in NK as opposed to talks, a policy that will enmire us in daily, avoidable violence...is unthinkable. There should be no wedge. But in Shays' world, Lieberman is right--the majority of us Dems--are wrong. I know where he's coming from. He's wrong of course, but I see what he's saying.

Here's a flash political attack I created exposing LIEberman as the Puppet HE IS.

From today's debate, which weirdly won't be televised until tomorrow:

They are so desperate they are saying anything they think will stick, no matter how foolish they look.
Desperation as we've not seen for many election cycles. Enjoy the show!

:popcorn:

I saw this posted at Kos by Sirota.

Then scurry across the hall to snitch everything that was said!

...instead of Lieberman. The vetting process had Edwards in the final cut, and supposedly he was very impressive. Those around Gore looked at the demographics and polling numbers and thought Lieberman would bring in the "swing voters" more than Edwards.

I think Lieberman was a drag on the ticket. Gave Cheney a 'pass' in their debate. And now I wonder what their relationship was at the time of that debate, and if he did not sell out not only Gore and Democrats, but the rest of the country as well.

At least in Edwards, he would have helped electrify the Democratic base, and would have gone nose to nose with Cheney.

I bet Gore has wished a thousand times he had not chosen Lieberman ....

That would have been an amazing ticket--think of all the good those two could have done in the WH, especially if 9/11 had occurred. (But I'm not saying it would have, necessarily!)
